Unconstitutional Ruling

Alabama Chief Justice Moore: Gay marriage ‘not in accordance with Constitution’

Chief Justice Roy Moore conceded Monday that the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that homosexuals have a constitutional right to marry sets a precedent.

A precedent is a decision in law that is authoritative.

“I’m not disputing that the Supreme Court ruling is not a precedent for the lower courts. But I am saying that it’s not in accordance with the Constitution,” said Moore, 68, who has been a staunch and sometimes harsh opponent of same-sex marriage.

But when asked repeatedly if the ruling by the nation’s highest court meant that same sex marriage is now the law of the nation and of Alabama, Moore shook his head in disagreement.

“The law of the land is the U.S. Constitution. What we are talking about here is an interpretation of the Constitution.”
